Those are considered "power adders." Bolt ons are often consisted of:

Exhaust (headers, Y/X/H-pipe, mufflers, cutout(s), etc.)
Induction (intake manifold, throttle body, maf, air lid, CAI, ram air, etc.)
Chassis, suspension & brakes
Underdrive pulley
Electric Waterpump
Drag radials
Gears
Torque convertor for autos

It's just what one considers bolt ons (some might not consider radials or gears bolt ons, but others do), but S/C, turbos and nitrous are not bolt ons.

You should def have no problem getting your car in to the 12's. With a good full exhaust, headers, cold air intake, tune, and drag radials, you should be well in to the 12's.

Work on your launch and then throw a stall+DRs+some minor suspension work IE. SFCs, PHB, LCAs, LCA relo. brackets, etc. You should be well into the 12s.

Stall usually takes off close to .5 off your 1/4, Drags usually take .3-.5 off too. Im sure you can get a 13.5 out of your car if you practice your launch, unless you have bald/shitty tires. Goodluck

If you can't, then you should sell the car ASAP.

Some people consider them bolt ons, that's why I included them in my list. Some do, some don't. But FI and juice are not bolt on's.

nitros sucks, unless you have mostly a track car. drag radials will help the most.

I have Yank 3500, 3.42, lid, LTs, TDs, free mods and a tune... Hopefully I'll get low 12s to high 11s w/ traction.

As the others have stated above, 12s are possible bone stock if you can find traction. With enough goodies, you could find yourself knocking on the door to the 11s!

Not on your 10 bolt 7.5 ring. Your car will not even move if you dumped a clutch with slicks and it "hooked".

FWIW, I've gone 11's on the stock 10-bolt with only bolt-ons. Over 200 passes at the strip with a stock 10-bolt with Precision 3.73's in it.

But then, I've been one of the lucky ones...

You can get into the 11's with bolt-ons, you just have to do some other important things, such as lots of weight reduction, suspension so you can hook up, and most importantly, learn to drive the car.
